«And I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,’ says the Lord of hosts.» Haggai 2:7
The people of Israel had already suffered very much. You have heard about their suffering in the other stories. They lost their possessions, their family, their home, and they lost their freedom. They lost their joy. They lost their peace.
All they wanted was to have peace again; to have freedom. They wanted to be happy.
Who was the only one who could bring all this to them? Jesus! Only Jesus could give them the greatest desires of their hearts. That is why Jesus is called “The Desire of All Nations.”
The prophet Haggai received the message from God that Jesus would come and make a great difference in the world. He would come in Person to show His love to the world and teach the people how to prepare to live forever with Him.
Let’s practice!
Pray and thank God for sending Jesus, the One who is most desired by the whole world!
